This is my final for my video class. This is the paper I turned in, in response to the video:

My video title is She Must and the music was done by Navarre Herrera. My main inspiration came from the Five Obstructions movie we watched in class. I liked taking the human and studying it from an unbiased angle and wanted to keep that idea. The way they made the video by keeping the human in a simple space and having a clear narrator was very successful and so I figured it would be successful for mine. I think my pieces in the class have fallen under video art, because they do not have a plot and are based on a concept or idea. In this last video I wanted to show human’s as they are, rare with their own perspective and life circumstances. With that I also wanted to show the thing that in the end connects us together, which makes us whole in not being able to fully understand the role that death plays in our life. We are able to control our whole life to the best of our abilities but in the end we have no control over when we will end our life, and all humans have this in common. The obstructions given to us made my piece if not better than the same as I had originally planned, I think the split screen was a really nice addition for my video that worked well.  If I were to do this project again I think I would fix either the text or what I am doing to be less boring. I think the way I did it satisfied my concept but I know there are more way to may be have made it more interesting while still keeping my concept throughout.
